They should have gotten more creative.

Profanity is the attempt of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully.

I think Elenor Roosevelt came up with that one.

As many as the free beer can feed.

They took the arch out of that doorway, the header should be above that maybe right at the top of the wall.

No Arch, the stud was cut off where the top of the door was. I am still trying to figure out the house and what was original and what was added.

Today I found out that there was a fire near the chimney, a lot of the wood and wall board were burnt and the floor all the way to the attic are charcoal. Tomorrow I will climb into the attic and take a look but I'm a little scared to find out what is up there. I am beat and I only worked a few hours today.

Getting some more work done. Not sure if I should try and do anything with those burnt 2x4's in the attic area? its been like that at least the last 30-50 years, not sure if I should be messing with it or not.

Today, all that wood would be changes out and the whole attic would have had a special paint to encapsulate the smell.

It's funny I thought I would smell it more. The cat pee in the carpet was much worse

The smell has dissipated over the years and the structure has passed the test of time. If work is needed around it change it out but if you don't need to change it leave it. unless it bugs you.
